BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Keri Arthur's Kissing Sin.
In this exciting debut, author Keri Arthur explodes onto the supernatural scene with a sexy, sensuous tale of intrigue and suspense set in a world where legends walk and the shady paths of the underworld are far more sinister than anyone envisioned.
A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne's Directorate of Other Races, an organization created to police the supernatural races--and protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted guardian, a.k.a. assassin, Riley is merely an office worker--until her brother goes missing on one of his missions. The timing couldn't be worse. More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when her need to mate becomes all-consuming....
Luckily Riley has two willing partners to satisfy her every need. But she will have to control her urges if she' s going to find her brother....Easier said than done as the city pulses with frenzied desire, and Riley is confronted with a very powerful--and delectably naked--vamp who raises her temperature like never before.
In matters carnal, Riley has met her match. But in matters criminal, she must follow her instincts not only to find her brother but to stop an unholy harvest. For someone is doing some shifty cloning in an attempt to produce the ultimate warrior--by tapping into the genome of nonhumans like Rhoan. Now Riley knows just how dangerous the world is for her kind--and just how much it needs her.
As with the Sookie Series there is little information about the background in the first book. The book is set in the near furtur in Australia. It is not said, if Vampires, werewolfs and the like just made an appearance or if they have been in the light for a long time... At least now there is a governmental body and legislativ concering them. They don´t seem to have human rights but close (or they have them, and they are easily disregarded) and (normal) people are not depicted overly worried about them... Riley is the main character of the book. She is half vampire and half werewolf with the werewolf beeing the dominating bit. Her twin-brother is the same. Nobody is supposed to know about this. They have been kicked out of their pack right after coming of age. It was lucky they haven´t been killed at birth for beeing halfbreeds. Riley works as a leason for the Directorate (a police-force for the supernatural community). She is not full guardian but only helping out. Her brother works there as well and he is guardian. They both pretend to be full werewolf, so the were-cummunity of Melborn will not kick them out. Quite some guardians went missing the past weeks. Riley is very worried and does some investigation of her own when her twin brother goes missing. She is worried they will only find bits and pieces of him, just as they did of the other guardians who went missing. When she gets home, there is a beatifull, naked vampire sitting on her doorstep claiming to be a friend of her brothers, in trouble and with memory loss... ( )
